Answer

Hello Julia,

Those words  "prestaged" or "prestaging" don't really exist.
Maybe you could check again ,it might be a typing error!

Answer

prestage is not available in the general English dictionary.
But It looks like a technical word in your sentence.
Microsoft also using the same in Distributed File System (DFS) data backup.
Please have a look at it.

From the sentence, prestage is assumed as marking or placing. 

"prestaged", here it means that the name of the file is going to be marked.
"prestaging" here, it means that the marking is in process.
